Stayed at Bridger Bay Sept 18-19 in one of the sites nearest the water. Great timing as there were virtually no bugs and the water was warm enough to paddle board. Lots of Bison and a Great Horned Owl spend an hour in a tree by our Bean Trailer. Hiking the beach was otherworldly and we will definitely return.
ScoutBeautiful views of the lake. Hook ups were really easy to use for the trailer. Bugs were minimal. Bathrooms were very clean. You’ll check in when you enter the park and if you don’t have a reservation, they’ll assign you a spot at the gate and have you pay there.
GuideAmazing sunset. Not much coverage but nice covered picnic benches and toilets and showers. Gets a bit warm during the day and the “no see ums” will bite if you get close to the waters edge.
GuideSuper nice campground in a fascinating area. We were in a pull through spot (BB42) and the hook ups (water/electric) were great.
Watching sunset on the lake and seeing bison lounging on the beach was magical. Plenty of pronghorns prancing around and we also grabbed soft serve from the nearby concession stand.
The sites are well spaced and have been staggered so that the site across from you does not block your view. Love the forethought.
Only downside was the bugs. The camp host did send out a notice about the bugs before our arrival, but we did not anticipate the literal swarms of no-see-em's and mosquitoes.
Can't blame nature for naturing though :)
GuideWe spent sometime here. It was a busy time especially with the eclipse. We had to leave the park and find another place. I loved the bison visits every morning by our site 40, 29, 40. I hated the bugs. They were horrible. We couldn’t even sit out at the table to have dinner. I know now not to come in October
GuideSpacious campsites, with asphalt pads, covered picnic table, fire pit. In the wide open with no trees. Was super windy during our stay and the wind howled. Site 55 was pull thru site with water and electricity. Dump station near by. Entry fee into the state park included with campground fee.
GuideAll sides of the island are so great to visit. Stayed here a couple of times, people complain about bugs, but I find them manageable. That being said. There are lots of flying lake bugs. Camp site was clean and pretty basic. Showers at bridger bay are clean and basic. Would stay again. Love seeing the Buffalo
Scout
Paid sites Easy drive up
Keep in mind other campers are near but not right by you depending on site.
We went last summer and cant wait to go back
Running water Hook ups Tent spots
Good for groups or singles
Feel free to book its about 20$ a night Its well worth it and its not to far from home but not to close either.
Stayed at multiple spots looking to get back again this summer.
Please check out my other reviews. More to come. Happy camping.

I recently stayed at KOA Provo/Springfield and while it had some positive aspects, overall, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The campground is conveniently located near the I-15 and a gas station, which was convenient. However, I did find the price to be a bit high for what they had to offer.
One of the main issues I had with the campground was the tightness of the sites. They were very close together, which didn't allow for much privacy or space to relax. The bathrooms were also a disappointment. They were not well-maintained and some were out of order. Additionally, I never saw any staff during my stay, which made me feel a bit uneasy.
Despite these drawbacks, I will say that the campground is still a good option for a quick overnight stay. However, I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay. If you're just passing through and need a place to rest, it could be a decent option.
Overall, while KOA Provo/Springfield has some good qualities, it also has some drawbacks. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option and don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort, it could work for you. But if you're looking for a more relaxing, well-maintained campground, you may want to consider other options.
GuideWe Enjoy winter camping. Unfortunately this site just turns into paved dispersed. Amping in the winter months. No working power sites, toilets locked up, and still cost 30 bucks. Just find some of the endless BLM in the area.
TravelerWhat a great find this was. Perfect break after a long day driving. I was able to go hiking in the morning and watch the sunrise and the herds of bison. Extremely clean campsite and restrooms
GuideThis KOA is very nicely run. It's clean and we'll kept. The backdrop of mountains and colors are gorgeous. It's just very cramped. Your door opens right to the neighbors hookups. There are strips of grass between but they hold half of a picnic table.
This is a good spot to hook up and top off for a night or two, or if you're planning on staying inside, or if you're going to head up into the mountains for hiking and leave the rig behind.
Can't comment on the cabins but they seem nice and the amenities areas are very nice as well. I just prefer a little space when I'm camping.
Traveler
This is a pretty decent park. There are a lot of amenities, clean facilities, and concrete pads. The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn’t the best place. You can’t burn firewood but you can have a propane fire pit. There is a plant nearby so it kind of smells. And there’s a decent amount of road noise since it’s in town. It also backs up to an RV sales and service place which I think is pretty convenient! It’s gated too, which is also pretty great! Overall good spot and would definitely stay again.
RangerWhen I go camping, I always expect a fair amount of bugs. What I experienced here was unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Anytime you’d step foot outside, you would be covered in a swarm of mosquitoes. Bug spray and bands provided minimal help, but nowhere near what they normally would have.
ScoutWe have a daughter that lives in Spanish Fork and this is very convenient for her to come see us and bring her children to play in the pool and the recreation hall. Everything is clean and complete. Even the kitchen is clean and large in the hall
RangerWe came right after mosquito season and had a blast. Nice and peaceful! The night sky is more than amazing, the animals are fun to watch. Great place to relax!! Partial hookups were great and appeared new. The entire campground looks like it’s recently gotten a facelift. Very nice accommodations.
GuideBig urban park, concrete sites, minimal grass, a lot of long term folks. WiFi was ok bathhouses we’re new and clean and should have been adequate for the size of the park but a number we’re constantly locked, I assume to minimize cleaning costs. Maintenance is now what I would expect from a top notch park.
GuideWell kept grounds with friendly staff. All sites have concrete pull throughs. All amenities were clean and well maintained. Wifi issues connecting, didn’t work. Has pet areas, pool, play areas in which were all clean and usable.
GuideThis campground was a last minute detour for us since there was stormy weather hitting our destination to the north. What a lovely surprise. We were here in the beginning of June and the bugs were not bad at all. It was windy, so that probably helped with the bugs. There is a loop for rent camping and a large loop with hookups. We stayed in a hookups site with our pop up tent trailer. Every spot is nicely thought out and spaced out. There really isn’t a bad spot. We saw bison all over the island and even in the campground. It was super cool. Highly recommend this hidden gem of a campground!
TravelerThis place is full of wildlife! Tons of Bison, Pronghorns, Deer, Owls, Rabbits and Birds. But I should of done my research first! We are here in JUNE and this place is full of MOSQUITOES!!! We are full of bites and super itchy. The front gate has a sign saying NO FUNDS for insect problems. Unfortunately, looking forward to our EXIT, since we are trapped inside our 5th wheel. Other than the insect problem, this place is pretty cool. I absolutely love animals.
GuideWow...what a place. Whoever planned and designed this campground is to be commended. All of the sites in Bridger Bay are at least 100 feet apart and have a paved parking pad along with a metal roofed pavilion placed on a cement pad that covers your aluminum picnic table and has a campfire ring set off to the side. You can choose either a pull through or back in site. The upper sites (25-64) of the campground have water and electric. These sites are on the side of the mountain with spectacular views. The sites (1-24), below this area are laid out the same way, but have no water or electric at their site, though you can fill your tanks with fresh water and there are 2 bath houses; 1 has showers There is dump station at the upper part of the camp that allows for 2 campers to dump at the same time. There are 3 bath facilities at the upper camp, but only one has showers. The bathrooms are very, very clean. You have spectacular views of the Salt Lake , the mountains and a 360° view of sky. We had a great view of the moon and watched the International Space station fly over. Tonight, we hope to see the Blood Moon lunar eclipse.
There's lots to do here...miles of biking, hiking or if you prefer, a great driving tour of the island. Bison roam freely on Antelope Island, as do pronghorn deer, fox and a few other wildlife. There's only one down side to the park...the no see ums and other bugs. They are relentless, unless the wind is blowing the right way. No bug spray, scented candles/oils, Thermal cell or even campfire deters them. Head netting is strongly recommended.
ScoutHad a great time playing a shrunken bowling game in the game room which also had pool tables and other cool games.
Guidecampground itself was pretty nondescript. lots of loud kids when i was there, i ended up moving to a different campsite because they kept running through mine. definitely a spot for families to go camping, but it was a fine stop for the night. great opportunities for astrophotography and sunset photos. saw some buffalo, pygmy owls, and got to float in the salt lake too.
GuideWe wanted to love this place! Historic island, right near the “water” (you’re still a good 1/2 mile from the water in April). The spots are decently spaced, you get a covered picnic area + grill/fire pit.
But when we stepped out of our truck - THE BUGS swarmed us. It was so unbearable we had to pack up & leave (your $30 camping fee is NON-refundable). This place is probably doable if you have a trailer/camper. We have a RTT and it just would have been miserable! For reference we came by on 4/20/22. The island was already quite crowded and most of the camping spots were taken.
ScoutVery helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay.
LegendOne of the less desirable KOAs that I've been to. WIFI didn't have a chance of working. Dog poop on the grass. They pack you in here maximizing the number of spaces. Its like a parking lot. The grass strip between each space is about 4 feet wide, so you and your neighbor are on top of each other. Cars were parking half off the narrow aisles and therefore tearing up the grass into mud holes. There were a good number of full timers on site with a lot of unsightly personal belongings all over the place. Close to the freeway. Traffic and train noise is moderate.
TravelerClose the to the valley for a quick little getaway! Campgrounds are pretty close to one another but somewhat secluded depending on the spot you get. Parking next to your campground is a plus for me! They have restrooms which is nice! Decent place for a quick trip!
